A decade of psychiatric misdiagnosis: reconstruction and reconciliation

What is left to say?

Apologies for the long absence, so let me start by saying that I’m fine, Agnes is fine, kiddo is fine, and new potential baby is fine (I just cleared the 14 week first trimester hurdle…now if I could just stop throwing up). However, we have all been tired and sick (alas, such is cold season with a toddler).

When I started this blog, I knew it probably wouldn’t be forever. In many ways, the role of the old diagnosis in my life is a story that has an end, and for that I am very grateful. The longer I go, the more the importance fades, even though the experience has dramatically colored the way that I continue to interact with the world, parent and work.

I fear I am running out of things to say here, and will likely officially stop writing sometime soon (as opposed to just unofficially not writing for over a month). When I go, I’ll leave this up, for any folks out there, searching as I did for a long time, for SOMEONE who managed to escape the bipolar mill, and have a healthy med-free life. So what I’d like to know from all two of my readers (OK, maybe 3 or 4), is what is left to say? Is there anything that you are wondering? Burning questions? Is there something that’s been critical for you, but I’ve completely left out?

I would echo Gianna here…
Good for you for getting out, and go live your life.

You’ve probably noticed I’m not posting as much as I used to, either, mainly because the blog did what it was intended to do–help me figure out where my Bipolar Adventure needs to be in my perspective of my own story…now it’s time for me to go live my life and not dwell on it.

I, too, will miss you–your writing is compelling, and I’ve enjoyed reading it. You have a lot to say, and you say it very well. I wish you lived closer to me, I think we’d get on very well!

and although i don’t read everyone’s blogs as frequently as i should-reading them can be quite therapeutic at times.

having said that, the same goes with writing. i go through phases, depending on where i am in my life, how i’m feeling, etc. sometimes i wont blog for several weeks simply because i have nothing interesting to say. however, right now i’m going through some bad stuff and writing has helped.

ironically, i just listed your site at my blog for the lemonade award! ha. we all go through this and i hope to see you back when the time is right for you.

As a contributor, and co-founder of the new A Hoy Blog Award, I would like you to receive the Inaugural (very first round)presentation of the award. Please find it on my blog, ‘soulful sepulcher’.Congratulations!-Stephany

Hello, I was just wondering if there is any recent activity on this site.
Has there been any recent progress by other individuals .. it seems like such an important site for serious optimistic people who believe in personal power.
Congradulations on your withdrawal and wondering how things are going. Thankyou for the site, no matter how outdated it is.
